IT assets management is one of the major problems every big company faces nowadays. How do they solve it?

First, let´s clarify the term “asset management”. IT assets are electronic devices (printers, mobile phones, computers, laptops, etc.) company using for work. For stable work flow all these devices have to be maintained in “ready-to-use” condition, so that means that IT manager has to check warranty, system status, connection, etc. of each of them.

For small companies with limited number of devices it is possible to check them manually, but when we talk about companies with large IT infrastructure which includes dozens of devices (sometimes in different cities or even countries), manual approach is impossible.

In this case big companies often use ITSM software, which helps them to track and maintain all assets regardless of their geographical location. GLPI ITSM softwareprovides numerous advanced features for inventory and asset management.
